Popis: A novel pyrrolidine-camphor organocata- lyst 3 was designed, synthesized and proven to be an efficient catalyst for the asymmetric Michael re- action. Treatment of a,a-disubstituted aldehydes with b-nitroalkenes in the presence of 20 mol% or- ganocatalyst 3 and 20 mol% benzoic acid under sol- vent-free conditions provided the desired Michael product possessing an all-carbon quaternary center with high chemical yields (up to 99% yield) and high levels of enantioselectivities (up to 95% ee).
